Google/Yahoo search engine

Post by alex.barylski »

I have a client who requires a search engine to search their web site content, they have a custom built community that includes things like classifieds, forums, etc. All custom built and horrible URI structure.

We hired a SEO expert and he wants a search like Google to be installed that will search a database and return a listings of pages internally. Each listing will then need to redirect the user to our pages internally. Must be open source and PHP based.

Lucerne is not what I am looking for, nor is phpDig. Its not very possible to spider pages because the original developer built most HTML in JS.

I plan on running queries on the internal tables and outputting in the schema format the search engine uses.

Any suggestions? Easy theming is also a requirement as is changing the location of where the search result links point to.
